Description

At present an auto-deleted queue is eligible for deletion when either the session declaring it ends (if exclusive) or when the consumer count drops to 0 (if not exclusive). In some cases it would be nice to configure things such that the queue must also contain no messages for it to be eligible for deletion.

In other words, if auto-deletion is a means of cleaning up unused queues, we want a broader/richer notion of in-use that could include the fact that the queue contains messages.
